How much did the wealthy pay to avoid the draft in the Civil War?

The wealthy were often not drafted, but if one was drafted he could usually bribe an official with a drink and some money. The cost to hire a substitute was as much as $1000 (an enormous sum at a time when $500 was the average annual income). However, with the flat fee set at $300 for exemption from a single draft call, a substitute could have been cheaper in the long run.

∙ 11y agoIn the South, many landowners could receive exemption, and those who were part of a vital industry. Otherwise a substitute could be hired to take the place of the draftee.
In the North, there was a flat fee of $300 for a single draft exemption, or someone could be hired for various amounts, in some cases as high as $1000.

What were the problems with the draft laws during the civil war?
It was the North that had the problems with the draft. An affluent young man could pay a substitute to do his service for him. This was obviously bad for morale. But it also didn't help the armies much. Simply - who were these substitutes? Obviously, men who had been too young or too old when the draft was first announced, or men who had been dodging the draft, or men who had already been rejected by the army.

How did conscription affect the Civil War?
Conscription, also known as the draft, affected the Civil War in different ways. Since the conscription was new in this time, there were some flaws in their system which made it unfair to some. The conscription immediately led to riots and fear. Most of the riots had happened because the wealthy were able to pay to be exempt from the draft. Overall, the initial conscription of the Civil War itself was not very successful or liked because of how much conflict and pressure it put on the people's shoulders. However, war wise, it gave each side more men to fight with.

How did Daylight Saving Time affect the Vietnam War draft?
A man, born just after 12:00 a.m. DST, was able to circumvent the Vietnam War draft by using a daylight saving time loophole. When drafted, he argued that standard time, not DST, was the official time for recording births in his state of Delaware in the year of his birth. Thus, under official standard time he was actually born on the previous day—and that day had a much higher draft lottery number, allowing him to avoid the draft.
Will your abusive ex-boyfriend ever act civil and not try to manipulate you or should you just totally avoid him as he will never just be normal?
Sure, he can ACT civil. But he'll never BE civil. Unless he gets himself help (psychiatric, anger management, etc.) he will never change. Some abusers don't even change WITH help. The chances of him being "normal" are pretty slim. Avoid him and move on. Much luck to you, ~ T
